What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a long-term autoimmune disorder that leads to red, scaly patches on the skin. It occurs due to an overactive immune system that accelerates skin cell production. This results in excessive cell buildup, causing visible plaques and discomfort. Although psoriasis is not contagious, it can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. Symptoms may vary in severity, from mild irritation to widespread lesions. Effective management includes medication, lifestyle changes, and skincare routines to minimize flare-ups and discomfort.
